The ineffectiveness of medication and the current treatment model for mental health issues is a clear problem. This book attempts to bring light to this issue by arguing that the increase in anxiety in the past 20 years is the result of the habits of those affected by anxiety. Although anxiety is a mental health concern, I argue that physical factors in ones environment can alter the balance of neurotransmitters in ones brain through enhanced stimulation, leading to anxiety and other psychological disorders. This book examines the effects of different habits on the brain, including pornography, the internet, ones diet and the role of gluten, and marijuana/other drug use through a review of both anecdotal and scientific evidence. The evidence suggests that the current medical model for treating mental health disorders may be flawed in many instances.
